We have old windows in our home. It’s been such nice weather lately that I like to open them to let in the fresh air. The windows won’t stay up, so I have to prop them open. Usually I use a book to do this.

Well, today I made the mistake of using one of Rae’s books. Wouldn’t you know it that she became fixated on it and wasn’t satisfied until she had pulled it from under the window. The window, ofcourse, fell on her arm. I rushed to remove it. I think there will be a nasty bruise but at least there is no torn skin.

I gave her some infant motrin and put some Benadryl cream on the arm. Not sure that will do any good, but it makes me feel better doing at least something for her.

So my mommy lesson is learned for today. No more using her books to prop open windows, and use two support objects to prop the window open. That way if she does grab one, the other will hopefully keep the window from falling.
